## Questions & Answers

**Q: My motherboard has no usb 3.0 headers, can i use this and use the front usb ports as 2.0?**
A: Yes I have used these on several occasions and that works just fine. You will get USB 2 speeds through it. Just make sure that your case has a make usb 3 lead going into the female (blue) usb 3 socket on this adapter and that you have a spare USB2 header on your motherboard

**Q: I have a usb camera that will only work in a usb 2 port. My laptop has usb 3 ports. Will this allow me to c**
A: No this is for a Desktop pc not a laptop, USB ports should be backward compatible (older devices will work in newer ports). If the Laptop runs Windows 10 the Camera may show up in file explorer but not show any contents, this is a common problem and may need the cameras firmware updated.

**Q: Will this convert usb super speed to usb 2?**
A: If you use this adapter it will make your 3.0 port into a 2.0 port.

**Q: My pc case is usb 2 but my mother board is usb 3, can i use this to connect my case to the board?**
A: No this converts a 3.0 case to a usb 2.0 motherboard. Some boards have both usb 2.0 and 3.0 headers, so may be worth double checking

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy USB 3.0 to 2.0 cable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit!
*by A***. on 1 July 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, thank you!!
*by K***H on 4 July 2025*

Omg, I’ve never felt so compelled to leave a review but this adaptor, as simple as it maybe, was perfect!!! Since building my computer 5 years ago I stupidly bent and broke a couple of pins from in the front panel usb connector on my motherboard. I didn’t really have the space and didn’t really want to spent £20 on a PCI-E adapter card to replace the connector but this cable is perfect. I know I only get USB 2.0 speeds and not 3.0 speeds but honestly don’t care, connect a wireless mouse or headset dongle, or a quick thumb drive. Honestly, I’m so pleased!!!! Thank you so much
